Service was great! Food as so very good. I had Ravioli, salad ( loved the salad dressing) and bread sticks. WAY TOO MUCH Food. Talked to the man at the next table and he raved about his chicken and the size of the portions. We had the house Chardonnay and it was very good. Prices were Fair. $20 bucks for Ravioli .We are traveling in our Fifth Wheel so we eat out a lot! This was such a great memory. We will stop by on our next trip! read more

This was by far the worst Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Olive Garden would have been the much smarter choice. After an hour and 45 minute wait, we finally got food. During that long wait, we saw patrons leave after eating a few bites and leaving their to go boxes unfilled. Once we got our food, it was clear it was not "homemade" pasta. We went in there hoping to have a birthday dinner for my father. We were told that they were out of Lasagna, Tortellini, ravioli, and romaine lettuce. I had grocery store bought spaghetti noodles with extra tough unflavored shrimp. Horrible experience. Do not waste the time or money!!! read more

While visiting Coos Bay, I was looking for a great Italian restaurant for our last night in town and turned to ChatGPT for a recommendation. This restaurant was exactly what I was hoping to find. We ordered takeout, and the meal was outstanding. The flavors, quality, and timely were so impressive that I called afterward to share our compliments -- sadly, they were already closed. We will absolutely be returning on our next visit to Coos Bay. This is the kind of restaurant you make a point to come back to. Highly recommend! read more

Courtney was Great to work with on planning a meal for a large group. We had appetizers, 3 main dishes, salad, bread sticks, and cheesecake. We chose Lasagna, eggplant Parmesan & a cheese tortellini with bacon for the main meals. The majority of our group had Lasagna & cheese tortellini with bacon. They were both a hit! 5***** During our meal if we needed anything Courtney was quick to take care of our requests. read more

Beautiful meal. Had a wonderful glass of Chianti with a fresh Margherita pie. The minestrone soup is hearty and delicious. Cesar salad and dressing made fresh. Mozzarella triangles were hot and tasty with fresh gravy. Order some small side dishes while waiting for the hand made pie. Looking for an upgrade dining experience this is it! Server was polite, professional and kept our drink filled. Looking to try other dishes read more

this place is fucking disgusting and the worker prioritized people over us because they dressed nicer also in the middle of the restaurant they had a banned list? i thought this was a calm italian restaurant but it felt hostile and the food was gross. read more

The food is great! We are local to Coos bay and have been here many times and tried just about everything including the juiciest steak!! My favorite though is chicken parm! Or the new lobster tail taco omgoodness to die for!!! Service was good, very helpful and attentive If we needed anything! Ambiance is calm, the lighting us great! They actually boxed up our left overs and dessert so we had a snack later! Don't usually do reviews but this place has been progressively getting better since it opened!!!! Max would be proud! read more

So disappointing! The appearance from outside was great - so inviting. Inside? Not so much, but okay. We sat down and were studying their menu, which was creative. Long story short, the service was absolutely great, But the food was thrown together. The pasta was NOT cooked to order, I could tell they held it partially cooked and rewarmed it for service. My gawd! It's an Italian restaurant & Pasta only takes minutes to cook. And then the shrimp were overcooked & rubbery. The breadsticks they brag about were comical; a few inches long, irregular with some fat and some long. No taste and rather doughy. For desert, I ordered the Cannoli and the wife had Tiramisu. We could have had better deserts at 7-11. The Cannoli was blah. - flat and rather tasteless, but at least it was sweet. Nothing resembling a REAL Cannoli. And the Tiramisu? Laughable. A soggy chocolate cake really. They should be ashamed to serve it. In a fact I felt sorry for the server. It wasn't her fault. She brought out what the kitchen gave her. Maybe they had staff problems that day? I don't know, but at today's prices I'm not going to be cheerful about throwing money away. Maybe your experience was better there, I hope so. But not going back unless it changes hands or announces a new chef & kitchen staff. read more

My food was delicious but the service was extremely slow and they didn't seem to know how to work as a team because our order was taken 3 different times read more

Fresh made daily Pasta.. that is an huge hit for us and was wonderful. Our Appetizer of Fresh Made Mozzarella pieces and fresh Marinara sauce were SO Delicious. My Husbands 3 Meat Calzone he loved and will get again. My 3 Cheese Tortellini had the perfect taste combination, the pasta was fresh made from scratch as was the sauce..very good. Our Waiter was very helpful, and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed this established Italian Restaurant for our Anniversary and we will be back. PS Got a slice of fresh from scratch Pepperoni Pizza to try and it was great! My Husband worked at a small authentic Italian Restaurant in LA in the 70s and he said everything was great and spot on. read more

Please don't waste your money or your calories. This is not food you will want to eat. My gnocchi was so poor that it was like chewing gum. I was laughing and allowing others to try it. The wait staff was slow and rude when we communicated our issues with the food. My wife's calzone was so salty it was like eating a salt lick. This place had potential but sadly fails in every way. Don't waste your money or your time. read more

Well I do like me a good rock hard breadstick! The Caesar salad is sweet, interesting flavor. I asked if something was house made and the waiter sarcastically told me "we don't milk the cows" Over all it was trash food... there service was horrible and I haven't had an experience like that ever DO NOT SPEBD YOUR MONEY HERE read more

Little Italy - "Minestrone" this is 100% canned chili watered down. There's ground beef chunks, chili beans, no noodles and taste like taco powder - Italian Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Hi I went there with my Boyfriend I order scallops with Fettuccine Alfredo and I got spaghetti noodles instead and I ask why he said the cook was off today so who made the food. Then my boyfriend order fettuccine with chicken and got spaghetti noodle's I little piece of chicken I paid over $70.00 for that I was there in December 2024 when I first move her and it been bothering me ever seen I did not recommended this place and the waiter was Nasty read more

Well, I'm sorry, but I have to write this review! The food was absolutely horrible... Ordered a Caesar Salad, and kept finding pieces of black rotten lettuce, plus you could tell that the Dressing was from a plastic jug, NOT from scratch... I ordered the Pasta Carbonara, which was so friggin salty, I had the server put it in a to-go box, and give it to my neighbors dog... The pork was like big chunks of ham, instead of crispy bits of Pancetta, like it's normally done... Not sure what the cook did to the egg sauce, but, like I said, it was so salty, it was inedible... The server was super nice, so I did not bother her with any complaints... I have been in Culinary Arts for over 40 years, and never seen anything quite like this in a very long time... Oh well, hopefully they'll get it together, or the business will surely fail... read more

Yes it is a shadow of its former self but the basics are there. I opted for good ol spaghetti with marinara sauce a tasty minestrone and washed it down with a nice glass of vino. Fine Dining it's not but it's reasonably priced and satisfied my pasta craving Service was a bit harried but acceptable. Would do it again. read more

I've never been disappointed. Ordered take-out tonight for my husband and I. Both of us had the Seafood alfredo, minestrone soup and bread sticks. Delicious! Portion sizes were great. Thank you! read more

I just visited Little Italy in Coos Bay Skylar the waiter/ partner was wonderful The food was authentic , well prepared and presented My wife and I enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant I am from Northern New Jersey so I am very critical of Italian food Little Italy passes the test The atmosphere inside was pleasant and clean read more

This place is terrible. Ordered a ribeye with peppercorn sauce and a margarita pizza. Steak was very fatty and burnt and the peppercorn sauce it says it comes with soup however I received no soup. Wanted to add mashed potatoes to my steak but they didn't have potatoes. The pizza was dry and flat and reminiscent of a frozen store bought pizza. To make it all even worse waited over 50 minutes to bring this out!!! read more

Appreciate that they were open late (until 9pm) on a Monday evening, but the food was not great. Ordered Chicken Marsala, which wasn't even edible. The chicken was super rubbery, and seemed to be coated in fried egg or something that gave off a really horrible smell. And served with a bit of pasta in tomato sauce which was an odd pairing and did not taste good at all. Others at our table had lasagna (seemed like it was frozen and reheated, but was edible at least) and pizza which was ok. Saw another person order the Chicken Marsala dish while we were there and their face looked the same as mine when I tried to take a bite, so definitely don't recommend ordering! read more

Service terrible,Food unmentionable and ambiance mediocre . Wouldn't recommend this place to anybody desiring something Italian. We each had the Scallops over noodles. in a supposed white sauce. No flavor either on the scallops or the supposed white sauce. I do have 50 yrs cooking and a good understanding of proper Italian food preparation and flavor: This was terrible, will never go back or mention to anybody to try this place. read more

I should've read the most recent reviews on all pages, especially Yelp, before eating here. We will never return! The waitress was fine, a bit preoccupied with only 1 other table of two, but she was nice enough. That's NOT what's important here... We paid $75 (including her tip) for a table of two, with waters and the most tasteless, bland, nasty food we have ever had! We tried mozzarella "sticks". It came out as flat round circles, with most of the cheese oozed out already and what was there was not good. We both had an entree for dinner, a tortellini dish and a chicken parm. Incredibly bland, the sauces had a weird funk that we could not get to go away and the chicken was overcooked. It was all dreadful and overpriced. This place really needs to shape up before it closes for good. We were in there at prime dinner time on a Saturday night and they had 3 tables. That should say something. They don't even offer complimentary breadsticks anymore, but according to other reviews they're bad also.. So I'd have to guess we weren't missing out! I love food, I'm a total foodie and Italian is my favorite cuisine.. Trust me, you don't want to dine here. Choose anywhere else. I miss Ciccarelli's!! read more

This place is weird, felt like we were in a movie set. Friendly but awkward staff, pretty mediocre food. Don't get the ravioli unless you loveee canned olives. The lasagna tasted like a taco?? Overall not awful just a weird atmosphere. Also pretty shockingly expensive for what we got. Not the spot guys read more

Little Italy is now my families new favorite dinning spot. I am particular about food, with authentic flavors and ingredients. I make my own recipes from scratch. To be honest the graham cracker crust was better than I make, homemade. It was the perfect texture. One member of the family does not like key lime pie, well, guess what, he loved this one! The alfredo sauce won me over. To achieve the right balance of richness between butter and cream, cheese, garlic, and salt, not to mention the fresh herbs. Years of making it homemade I have yet to achieve this perfect balance. I came in with an appetite and the portions were large enough to have a heap of leftovers. The waitress was very professional, pleasant, and made the experience that much more enjoyable. Also, rich foods always keep my taste buds satiated. I cannot say that many places actually obtain this level of richness. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here around 7 pm on a Monday and we ordered breadsticks, gnocchi with pesto chicken, and lasagna. We really enjoyed all of the food. The breadsticks were amazing and you could tell they were made from scratch. All of the food seemed like it was home made and it came out fresh and hot. Would definitely stop and eat here again. read more

Service was great and I'm sorry that I held back some of my tip, less than 10%. The chicken picatta was especially small and over cooked, man was it tough!! We got the gluten free choice of gnocchi and was disappointed in the little portion even though it was a two dollar up charge for gluten free. Service was great!! read more

We had reservations at 6:00 for 2. We got there and they had one table available, but we were told we needed to sit and wait. Then 4 people came in behind us about 5 minutes later. 3 tables, for 2 opened up. They were bussed and cleaned. 20 minutes after our reservation, we are still waiting and they came and seated the 4 that came in behind us. No acknowledgement or anything. We left and walked down to the Blue Heron. Sorry Little Italy, that was very poor hostessing skills. read more

Wonderful Italian food. We have been there five times, have had a variety of different dishes and all of them have been wonderful! Beautiful Restaurant with nice servers. Large sized portions! They make a mean marinara sauce! read more

Old building, dated decor. One waiter working his hardest to keep everyone happy. 5 stars for him and his efforts. They were out of some of the salad dressings because of the holiday weekend but he hand made a balsamic vinaigrette that was awesome on a salad that was so so. The wine was overpriced for the quality. My husband liked it. He loved the lasagna. I had the ravioli which was good with a spicy sauce with sausage & olives that was absolutely to die for! That sauce was the real deal, you could tell it had been slow simmered. Crème brûlée was very good for dessert. read more

Took my wife a couple of weeks ago for our Anniversary. When we got there, we were served dirty silverware. The waiter did not have a wine list. There was wine on the wall, but we were told we did not have access to that and we had to drink the cheap offbrand house wine they had. Then we placed our order. They poured my wife the last bit of red wine. She received a 1/4 glass and was charge for a full glass. They came back after we ordered and said they were out of lasagna. So we ordered something else. One of the items we ordered was chicken Parmesan. They came back with our food about an hour later minus the chicken Parmesan. They said the chicken Parmesan would be out soon but it never came. We finished our meal and it still wasn't done. The spaghetti was dry and we had an item on our ticket we never received. I left 2 messages for the manager or owner to call me over a weeks time. It's been 2 weeks and no one has called yet so I filed a credit card dispute. read more

Except for the food and the service, it was not all bad. Our first time visiting and were expecting authentic Italian food. We don't think that anything in our dinner was authentic. We were going to order an appetizer but it took so long to get even a glass of water, that we didn't want to slow up the kitchen with unnecessary items. Our drink order took 30 minutes. Our salads were minuscule and wilted. We had to ask for silverware and waited another 10 minutes to get them. When our dinner arrived the plates had water from the (over cooked) pasta and very little marinara sauce. That was actually a good thing because the sauce had no spices (No garlic or oregano even) and we were certain it came from a jar or can. My beverage was good but my husbands, not so much. We did not try any dessert but when we stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home, we remedied that. We were told that the restaurant was under new ownership. I think that the new owners have no ides how to run a restaurant, and even less idea of how to make Italian food. The ambiance was on par with an Italian restaurant and had some unusual items displayed. Sadly, I think they came with the purchase of the restaurant and were in need of a good cleaning. My opinion is to avoid this restaurant until there is another new owner and then wait for those reviews. read more

The ambiance was acceptable, a nice historic building. The food was among the worst we've ever had on the Oregon Coast, and that includes hundreds of establishments. We both ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and the noodles were lukewarm, the sauce tasted like it came out of a can, and the "meatballs" were three tiny hard lumps of some type of animal flesh. There was no bread or salad of any kind, and the fountain drinks were watered down and devoid of carbonation. At least the service was acceptable. Stay away from this place!! read more

Food was dry, sauce almost nonexistent, pasta was overcooked. Service was very slow. Truly disappointing!

Ordered a pickup order, fettuccine alfredo was really off tasting, we couldn't finish it. chicken with the marsala was very tough and hard to eat. And the noodles were not the right noodles. got traditional red sauce instead of the marsala sauce. Either way, it was was small for the portions and the prices being as high as they are. read more

When I went the first time the food was mediocre. but the service was great and the ambiance screamed Italian restaurant. But when i went the second time the food was bad, service was ok, and still good ambiance. read more

The food is good but they could use a maitre d' that knows what they're doing to make sure they're turning tables and customers are getting a good experience and the phone message is always correct... their ambiance is acceptable... hopefully they will figure it out soon enough to stay in business... time will tell though... read more
